Victory had been decided.
Without a doubt, Unity One had lost!
Even though he wasn't unconscious and could still get up to fight, it was pointless.
He'd been severely wounded.
He was already heavily injured and his vitality was greatly damaged. He only had about forty percent of his combat strength left.
Ji Tianxing was completely unscathed. His breathing was steady, and his strength was still intact.
Even if Unity One refused to admit defeat and continued to fight, he'd only be humiliating himself.
How could he do that in front of the three thousand Water Tribe cultivators, the Golden Dragon Emperor, and the Divine General of Donglin?
Moreover, he had no deep grudge against Ji Tianxing. This was just a sparring match. It was enough to decide the victor.
After panting for a while, he slowly rose to his feet and wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve.
He stared at Ji Tianxing and said in a low voice, "Ji Tianxing, you've won! I admit that you're worthy of being called the number one genius of the human race. I'm not as good as you! "
He was a confident and arrogant person who didn't think much of the other races' geniuses.
But now, he had to admit defeat in front of everyone, that he was inferior to Ji Tianxing.
How much courage and magnanimity did this require?
Everyone understood this, so after hearing Tai Yi's words, they all felt respect for him.
Xiao Han nodded and murmured, "As expected of the heir to the Imperial Court of the Water Tribe. He knows when to let go. That's why he doesn't care about the knot in his heart.
I only hope that after this challenge, Unity One won't hold a grudge. Otherwise, he'd be ruining his own future. "
The Golden Dragon Emperor nodded, his expression grave. "I've always been proud of Unity One. I've always believed him to be the number one genius, the pride of my race.
Who would've thought that Ji Tianxing would be even more monstrous? As expected of a once-in-a-lifetime genius!
Unity One didn't lose unjustly. He's become much more open-minded and admitted defeat in front of everyone.
Now that he is becoming more and more composed, he has the bearing of an emperor. This emperor can finally be at ease. "
Though Unity One had lost, the Golden Dragon Emperor wasn't angry, nor did he feel humiliated.
He had seen Ji Tianxing's strength and admitted that Taiyi was indeed inferior to Ji Tianxing.
In the past, Taiyi had been too sharp, too confident and arrogant.
He only hoped that Taiyi would be able to learn a lesson from this defeat and become more courageous.
In the arena, Taiyi was also filled with emotions. He was in low spirits as he pondered.
Before the fight, Ji Tianxing had advised him not to fight in the ring, but to find a remote place with no one around. Only the two of them would know the outcome of the fight.
At that time, he didn't take it to heart and even mocked Ji Tianxing.
Now that he thought about it, he finally understood Ji Tianxing's good intentions and realized how ridiculous he was.
If he had listened to Ji Tianxing's advice, how could he have ended up like this? How could everyone know about this?
He did not blame Ji Tianxing. In fact, he was grateful to Ji Tianxing. After all, Ji Tianxing had given him a chance.
He could only blame himself for being too arrogant and not recognizing Ji Tianxing's strength.
After this fight, he calmed down the resentment in his heart and untied the knot in his heart. He suddenly felt as if he had put down a burden and relaxed.
"Phew …"
Taiyi let out a long breath and threw away all the distracting thoughts in his heart. He looked at Ji Tianxing with shining eyes and said with a sincere expression, "Ji Tianxing, thank you!"
Ji Tianxing looked at him calmly and nodded with a smile. He did not say anything.
Taiyi clasped his hands in greeting and said, "What I promised you, I will definitely fulfill."
After that, he turned and left the arena, returning to his palace to heal.
The warriors of the Water Tribe around the arena all looked at his back in confusion and whispered to each other.
No one understood. Taiyi had clearly lost to Ji Tianxing. Why did he thank Ji Tianxing?
Perhaps only Ji Tianxing, Taiyi, the Golden Dragon Emperor, and Xiao Han could understand.
After Taiyi left the arena, Ji Tianxing also left the arena under the respectful gazes of the crowd.
He flew over to the Golden Dragon Emperor and Xiao Han and greeted them with a salute.
"Greetings, Divine General."
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Please forgive us for what happened just now, Your Majesty Dragon Emperor … "
Just as he was about to explain the situation to the Golden Dragon Emperor, the Golden Dragon Emperor waved a hand and said earnestly, "Ji Tianxing, you don't need to explain yourself to me, and I won't blame you.
I am Taiyi's father, so of course I know his personality. I can also guess the reason for your fight.
You defeated him with your strength and ability!
Your talent and aptitude are far superior to Taiyi's. You are the most monstrous genius in the last thousand years. Even I am amazed. "
The Golden Dragon Emperor had such a high opinion of Ji Tianxing that even Xiao Han was surprised.
He knew very well that the Golden Dragon Emperor was a supreme expert who had made a name for himself several hundred years ago. His reputation was on par with human emperors.
Moreover, the Golden Dragon Emperor was cold and aloof. He had never praised anyone other than Taiyi.
If news of Ji Tianxing receiving such a high evaluation were to spread, it would shock the world!
However, Ji Tianxing remained calm. He smiled and cupped his hands. "You flatter me, Your Majesty."
The Golden Dragon Emperor nodded slightly. "Taiyi has always been arrogant, cold, and unreasonable. He also looks down on all the geniuses in the world.
However, his attitude toward you is very complicated. He clearly views you as a lifelong rival.
Now that you've fought with him, you've fulfilled his wish and dampened his sharpness.
Judging from his reaction, it's clear that he's sincerely convinced by you.
After this lesson, I believe that he will restrain himself and his martial heart will become even more resolute.
If he can calm his heart and cultivate diligently, he won't be far from breaking through to the Spirit Refining Realm.
A genius whose path is smooth sailing cannot bear heavy responsibilities! Setbacks can make people calm, motivate, and grow.
In fact, I should be thanking you. "
At this point, the Golden Dragon Emperor cupped his hands and bowed to Ji Tianxing.
Seeing this, the more than three thousand Water Tribe cultivators on the training ground were dumbfounded.
Xiao Han's eyes widened as he looked at the Golden Dragon Emperor and Ji Tianxing in disbelief.
The Golden Dragon Emperor, a supreme Nascent Divinity cultivator and the Monarch of the Water Clan, was actually bowing to a human junior and thanking him?
This was simply unheard of!
Xiao Han was very sure that when this news spread, it would shake the world. Cultivators of all races would be so shocked that their eyeballs would fall out.
At that time, Ji Tianxing's name would spread across the world!
Ji Tianxing was also surprised. He hurriedly reached out to support the Golden Dragon Emperor and dissuaded him. "Your Majesty, please don't do this. Please get up!"
However, the Golden Dragon Emperor insisted on bowing. How could he help him up?
The Golden Dragon Emperor's tone was solemn, and his expression was sincere. "Ji Tianxing, I'm not bowing as the Water Tribe's Emperor. I'm bowing as Taiyi's father to thank you.
I thank you for defeating Taiyi. I thank you for stopping his arrogance and allowing him to calm down and cultivate martial arts.
I also thank you for allowing him to grow through setbacks and gradually develop the temperament of an emperor. Only then can he succeed me as the Emperor!
If everything went smoothly for him, his arrogance would have destroyed him.
You saved him and saved the Water Tribe from losing a peerless genius and a future Emperor!
This Emperor's bow, you are worthy of it! "
With that said, the Golden Dragon Emperor bowed deeply with a sincere expression on his face.
The more than three thousand Water Tribe cultivators around the training ground saw the Golden Dragon Emperor bow, and they all knelt in unison to pay their respects to Ji Tianxing.
"We thank Young Master Ji!"
More than three thousand people shouted in unison. Their voices were like mountain torrents that reverberated endlessly in the sky.
